Hey Guys, Got The 1680 Sub!
Let me start off by saying wow.
Vintage watches are so much cooler than the new ones IMHO. THe matte dial is gorgeous I have a quick question about this watch. The date wheel is silver is that correct for this era? also the divers extention doesn't fold over and snap back into place twice, but only once, unlike the new models. Is that ok or is the bracelet faulty thanks!! ill post pics when im done moving camera is SOMEWHERE :) aadil |

Congrats on a wonderfull watch. The 1680 is my favorite diver!
![]() ![]() Yes, a silver date wheel is correct and proper for the reference. If you notice, because of the unique crystal, the date appears just a bit bigger than other pieces. Your bracelet is a 93150, what you're describing is correct. ![]() Enjoy this one! They don't make em like that anymore!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A vintage piece needs to be 100% original,just like any modern Rolex. I sure hope this 1680 is the "Keeper",but somehow ,I doubt it .... |

This one has got the original tritium dial with almost NO aging
the hands and bezel were replaced. The movement is original. Its a great watch in mint. I love it. I wouldn't be buying hands and bezel if it weren't a keeper ;) But I won't jinx anything lets h ave a poll! |

Like I said a set of period hands would be a bonus,but the bezel insert is not so important in real terms as the hands.They sometimes turn up on Ebay,and the various watch forums like Mike said.
